Azimuthal Asymmetry of Prompt Photons in Nuclear Collisions
The azimuthal elliptic asymmetry v2 observed in heavy ion collisions, is usually associated with properties of the medium created in the final state. We compute the azimuthal asymmetry which is due to multiple interactions of partons at the initial stage of nuclear collisions, and which is also present in pA collisions. In our approach the main source of azimuthal asymmetry is the combination o...
متن کاملAzimuthal Asymmetry in Transverse Energy Flow in Nuclear Collisions at High Energies
The azimuthal pattern of transverse energy flow in nuclear collisions at RHIC and LHC energies is considered. We show that the probability distribution of the event-by-event azimuthal disbalance in transverse energy flow is essentially sensitive to the presence of the semihard minijet component.
متن کاملDirect Photons in Nuclear Collisions at FAIR Energies
Using the extrapolation of existing data estimations of prompt photon production at FAIR energies have been made. At y = yc.m. the rapidity density of prompt photons with pt > 1.5 GeV/c per central Au+Au event at 25 AGeV is estimated as ∼ 10 . With the planed beam intensity 10 per second and 1% interaction probability, for 10% of most central events one can expect the prompt photon rate ∼ 10 ph...
متن کاملHigh Energy Nuclear Collisions
Highlights of the results from ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at CERN-SPS are reviewed. In particular, I discuss how the experimental results indicate that a collective strongly interacting system has been produced, and what are the implications towards the Quark Gluon Plasma. The physical ideas behind measuring certain observables are introduced. The future program of high energy nucle...
متن کاملThe thermal nature of high p T photons in high energy nuclear collisions
We discuss the recent status of some penetrating electromagnetic probes of relativistic nuclear collisions, and the information contained in their measurement. We concentrate in turn on sources that produce high pT photons: those of purely thermal origin, those producing direct photons, those related to jet fragmentation, and those associated with the interaction of jets with the colored plasma...
